According to USA Today, Lionsgate is intent on bringing The Hunger Games to a few select amusement parks.

"We're deep into conversations with prospective partners on four continents to explore theme park attractions and other location-based entertainment opportunities," Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer recently said.

As previously reported this summer, a prospective HUNGER GAMES tour could also take the country by storm, featuring "costumes, props and interactive displays."

About THE HUNGER GAMES:

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A Twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally-televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one Survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson). If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

"The Hunger Games" stars Academy Award® winner Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark, Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne, Academy Award® Nominee Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Elizabeth Banksas Effie Trinket, Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, Academy Award® Nominee Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman andDonald Sutherland as President Snow.
